I work for a startup that has a lot of potential. I received a promotion recently and have the choice of taking a $10,000 raise or the equivalent dollar amount in options.
As DINKS, my wife and I have a pretty solid foundation and take home income together and could afford to take the options. I have a limited knowledge of options and the percentage is very small < 0.0005%.
Here are a few questions I have:
- How would dilution affect the value of my options in the future?
- How much do options get taxed if I am able to sell them in the future?
- What would you do?
The company has the potential to be a 1B+ company over the next few years. But it's a startup.
